GearGossip Quicktip: One Pick to Rule them all

[@markharwood7573]

I recommend these picks too. It took many years to find the right thumb pick. The Black Mountain is useful. This Bumblebee, though, is now my everyday thumb pick. I glue it about 10 degrees from straight. To keep it in place I use a small strip of Nexcare Absolute Waterproof Foam tape on the thumb nail. Now I can use fingerpicks too, Alaska Piks. Just want to play and play. That is the measure of a good product.

I was making my own, cutting up thumb picks and gluing them to flat picks...precisely because I love moving back and forth from finger style to flat picking. Found these and have been happily using them for years. Great adjustable design. You can change the angle also. He also makes finger picks that go over instead of under the finger, fit well and don’t use your nail to keep them in place. No more worries about breaking and maintenance of nails, and you can dig into the string to match and balance with the thumb pick. He even designed them so you can frail or do those flamenco style sweeps. Can’t recommend them highly enough! Love your reviews and cents of humor also!

Cool product, great solution to problems of the thumb pick. I saw Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven live on video and saw Jimmy Page thumb picking and thought how cool it was.
